Abstract: 21,955. Blogg, W., and Sterling Telephone and Electric Co. Nov. 3. Intercommunication systems and apparatus.- In a system in which the receipt of a call is made independent of the position of the selector switch of the called station by the use of a rocking contact lever controlled by the bellpush and instrument hook, a spring, preferably a common contact spring, bears against the lever and presses it, when moved over the deadcentre, into one or other of its contact-making positions, where it is retained by the spring. The spring 9 bears against a pin 8 carried by the rocking lever 3, which has one arm 4 cooperating with the bell-push 5, and another, with a bevelled surface 6, co-operating with the instrument hook 7. Contact springs 15, 16 are respectively connected to the home -line and selector switch 17. Normally, connexion is established between the springs 9, 15 on hanging up the instrument. The Figure shows station I calling station III. The instrument is removed from its hook, and the button 5 pressed, pushing the lever 3 to the left. The ringing-circuit is established from the positive pole of the battery, through contacts 14, 10, 9, pin 8, contact 16, lever 17, to station III, through contact 15, pin 8, contacts 10, 11, bell 12, hook 7 (before removal of instrument), to negative pole of the battery. Removal of the instrument at station III establishes speaking-circuits at station I from the negative pole of the battery, through hook 7, secondary of induction coil 19, receiver 13, contacts 11, 10, 9, pin 8, contact 16, to lever 17, and at station III, from the home line through contact 15, pin 8, contacts 9, 10, 11, receiver 13, and secondary of induction coil, to the negative pole of the battery. When a central battery is used, the positive pole is connected to the extreme left terminal at each station, to include inductance 2 in circuit; but with local batteries, they are connected between the second and third terminals from the left at each station.
